Conversion Thoughts....

As I mentioned in my last post, I'm a complete thread fanatic. I love thread.  I love hand dyed cotton and hand dyed silks.  Love Love Love them.

I'm also a bead and crystal fanatic.  Love them.  Miyuki Delicas, Toho Aikos Swarovski Crystals. Love Love Love them.

I convert Mill Hill to Delicas or Aikos as much as possible.  More colors, better colors, better selection, better price.  I also will convert to Miyuki Seed Beads sometimes too. I'll put a diagram up of the difference between Delicas and Seed Beads.

I also found conversions charts for the following:

Mill Hill / DMC Conversion Chart from Wichelt
Mill Hill Beads to Delica, Miyuki and Toho, from Northern Expressions
Miyuki Delica beads to DMC floss from Fiber Gypsy (PDF)
DMC floss to Miyuki Delicas from Fiber Gypsy (PDF)
Miyuki to Toho bead conversion from The Bead Cellar

Just in case you needed enabling.  I'll put them in my conversions page on this blog so you can find them easier.
